Some By Mi and Menarini are skincare labels offering targeted solutions for diverse complexions. The Korean brand, founded in 2016, features serums, cleansers, toners, and moisturizers built around niacinamide, centella asiatica, and salicylic acid, while the latter is beloved for advanced serums and thoughtful formulas delivering reliable care.
